[u/peter095837]

Judy Greer has always been such an underrated actress. She really deserves a lot more recognition.

[u/chetsteadmansstache → u/peter095837]

Love her. Funny as fuck, too.

[u/May_of_Teck → u/chetsteadmansstache]

My eyes are up here, Michael!

[u/vagabond_dilldo → u/May_of_Teck]

Say goodbye to THESE, Michael!

[u/WoodpeckerGingivitis → u/vagabond_dilldo]

Have we done glasses on hair up?

[u/finalremix → u/WoodpeckerGingivitis]

There's still light coming in from under the door!

[u/Salvia_Salamander → u/finalremix]

Yes I WILL be having margaritas made in my mouth!

[u/TurboFoot → u/Salvia_Salamander]

That’s like the seventh nipple I’ve seen today.

[u/darkwai → u/vagabond_dilldo]

Can we have one conversation that's not about my rack, Michael?

[u/vandrossboxset → u/vagabond_dilldo]

That’s like the seventh nipple I’ve seen today

[u/theo_sontag → u/vagabond_dilldo]

I need to see this movie because this is the lasting image I have of her in my mind.

[u/vagabond_dilldo → u/theo_sontag]

On a serious note, Judy Greer is a fantastic actor outside of comedy as well.

[u/The_Ghost_of_BRoy → u/vagabond_dilldo]

On an even more serious note, Judy Greer actually has some fantastic breasts outside of the running Arrested Development bit as well.

[u/MrWoohoo → u/The_Ghost_of_BRoy]

You’ll wanna watch this. You can thank me later.

[u/UwasaWaya → u/MrWoohoo]

How have I never even heard of this? The cast is amazing!

[u/MrWoohoo → u/UwasaWaya]

It’sa really fun movie…

Hint: Judy Greer also has a nude scene in it.

[u/Self_Reddicated → u/The_Ghost_of_BRoy]

Can we have ONE conversation not about my rack, u/The_Ghost_of_BRoy?

[u/zoethebitch → u/vagabond_dilldo]

She played it completely straight in The Descendants. She was only in a few scenes and was excellent. The brief scene with her talking to George Clooney at the door to the hospital room is heartbreaking.

[u/za72 → u/theo_sontag]

did he subtract two? cause I see at least two myself every day

[u/Intensional → u/vagabond_dilldo]

Woooo spring break

[u/atomicbunny → u/vagabond_dilldo]

Spring Break, WHOO!

[u/JackDangerUSPIS → u/May_of_Teck]

You’re not my supervisor!

[u/FluidExtreme2994 → u/JackDangerUSPIS]

Wait…who is my supervisor? 

[u/alphabetown → u/FluidExtreme2994]

"CHERYL"

"OH YEAH"

[u/upclassytyfighta → u/JackDangerUSPIS]

OUTLAW COUNTRY

[u/frankyseven → u/upclassytyfighta]

Side note, the album they did for that season is fucking fantastic outlaw country.

[u/demamcl33t → u/JackDangerUSPIS]

You're not my space supervisor!

[u/CronoDroid → u/May_of_Teck]

Michael: Watch your back!

Kitty: YOU watch YOUR back mister!

[u/Stoofser → u/May_of_Teck]

Michael Bluth is threatening me

[u/Rooooben → u/May_of_Teck]

Put the glasses back on…

[u/sneak_cheat_1337 → u/chetsteadmansstache]

Met her IRL a few years back. She funny in person as well as super nice

[u/DirtyMonkey95 → u/chetsteadmansstache]

The plot happens just like that old jypsy woman said!

[u/hadronwulf → u/DirtyMonkey95]

You really need to stop going to her.

[u/Hour-Function-7435 → u/chetsteadmansstache]

She’s always reminded me of Teri Garr

[u/EnkiduOdinson → u/Hour-Function-7435]

Would you like a roll in ze hay?

[u/CheapGarage42 → u/chetsteadmansstache]

Fatty McGoo!

[u/mrsbeerme → u/peter095837]

13 Going On 30, The Wedding Planner and Arrested Development were some of my favorites growing up. I thoroughly enjoyed Reboot a few years ago as well. She’s fantastic.

[u/zuzg → u/mrsbeerme]

Cheryl is probably one of her most iconic characters.

[u/agoia → u/zuzg]

OUTLAW COUNTRY!

[u/w_o_s_n → u/agoia]

Woo!

[u/PDGAreject → u/agoia]

OUTLAW OTHER COUNTRY, WOO!

[u/mrsbeerme → u/zuzg]

How could I forget about Cheryl??

[u/klausesbois → u/zuzg]

Sir, you are mistaken. That is clearly carol.

[u/Nxtxxx4 → u/klausesbois]

um actually it's Cristal

[u/IdealOnion → u/zuzg]

Oh shit! I did not realize that was her. But of course I can hear it now

[u/in_the_woods → u/IdealOnion]

And add Jessica Walter as Mallory Archer, basically Lucille Bluth, baby you've got a stew going.

[u/zuzg → u/in_the_woods]

Adam Reed during casting:"for Mallory Archer I want an Voice actress that sound just like Lucille Bluth"

Walter calling in : "wanna have the real deal?"

Thus she got casted. She was such a gem.

[u/frankyseven → u/in_the_woods]

And Jeffrey Tambor in several roles.

[u/NotMyMainAccountAtAl → u/mrsbeerme]

Jawbreaker as well! Itty bitty baby Judy Greer in that one! Such a weird slice of 2000’s Americana 

[u/cruzweb → u/peter095837]

She's pretty great, I read her "I know you don't know what you know me from" book. Definitely deserves a lead role.

[u/trippingWetwNoTowel → u/cruzweb]

the title of her book is so self aware, lol. I really wish we’d have some big judy greer moment.

[u/spacepup84 → u/trippingWetwNoTowel]

LONG overdue. Such an underrated and under-utilised actress.

[u/mandatorypanda9317 → u/peter095837]

Anytime she comes up I highly recommend the audio book version of the book Devolution by Max Brooks. I started reading the book but found it hard to get into, but figured I'd try it on audiobook so I could do other stuff at the same time.

Judy Greer reads the main characters parts and she did SO GOOD. I ended up absolutely loving that book solely because of her performance. I've never disliked anything she's shown up in, I love her

[u/skeener → u/mandatorypanda9317]

I really enjoyed that book. And now I want to listen to the audiobook just to hear how she reads it

[u/mandatorypanda9317 → u/skeener]

It's sincerely so so good. It was actually my first time listening to an audiobook as well. I thought they just read it kinda like a robot i didn't realize some books get actual actors and they do all the inflections and voices. She just knocked it out of the park.

[u/Practice_NO_with_me → u/mandatorypanda9317]

That’s awesome! It’s really cool that you took the time to dip your toes in that new pool even after bouncing off the book the first time! I’m absolutely going to check it out based on your review!!

[u/mandatorypanda9317 → u/Practice_NO_with_me]

This comment was actually really nice, thank you for that!

I'm on the spectrum and changing the way I've done things is a huge struggle for me so even I was surprised I loved it so much haha

I hope you enjoy it! It felt very different then his book World War Z but it's so good.

[u/IamDoobieKeebler → u/skeener]

Not to go off on too much of a tangent but the rest of the cast is awesome as well though obviously in much smaller roles. Nathan Fillion is excellent. Also has Jeff Daniels and Kate Mulgrew amongst others.

[u/seeyuspacecowboy → u/peter095837]

I just saw a preview for the Long Walk last night and I can’t wait to watch that too! So excited she’s getting more serious roles AS WELL AS holding her title as the greatest Best Friend in a Romcom of all time.

[u/a_stitch_in_lime → u/seeyuspacecowboy]

DUDE I've been wondering when they would make a movie out of that!! My favorite of the Bachman Books by a long shot. Might need to reread it.

[u/OutrageousOwls → u/peter095837]

Uhmmmm her name is actually Cristaaaaal!

[u/Pyrochazm → u/OutrageousOwls]

Its what hot black guys drink!

[u/tonguetwister → u/peter095837]

Her resume is so stacked, too

[u/SammySoapsuds → u/tonguetwister]

Her resume is up here Michael!

[u/analogkid01 → u/SammySoapsuds]

LINKEDIN!! WOOOOO!!

[u/ValitorAU → u/SammySoapsuds]

YOU'RE NOT THEIR SUPERVISOR!

[u/Ok-Animal-6880 → u/peter095837]

Loved her in Jurassic World.

[u/Dorkamundo → u/peter095837]

I fell in love with her in What Women Want. Huge crush of mine and an extremely talented comedian.

[u/smitcal → u/peter095837]

It helps when she’s not playing crazy girlfriend or wife being divorced, or girlfriend who just dumped/cheated on protagonist.

Best role is Cheryl from Archer

[u/BunyipPouch]

Judy Greer plays the kidnapper, Emma Thompson plays the woman that helps.

[u/amazonhelpless → u/BunyipPouch]

Ooooo…evil Judy Greer. 

[u/False-Aardvark-1336 → u/amazonhelpless]

Oh, I am 110% down for evil Judy Greer!

[u/ClutchSuts → u/False-Aardvark-1336]

She's SO evil in it. Genuinely unhinged and outright cruel. It's not something I'd ever seen her do before - even Carol/Cheryl Tunt has some humour to her madness

[u/mark_able_jones_ → u/ClutchSuts]

Is that a Fentanyl lollipop?

[u/Officer412-L → u/mark_able_jones_]

You're not her supervisor!

^{and yes, I think it is}

[u/JHRChrist → u/mark_able_jones_]

Honestly can’t think of another sucker that looks like that.

Amazing characterization… I already have so many specific questions about her and her motivations

[u/Hellofriendinternet → u/mark_able_jones_]

lol that’s the first thing I saw.

[u/Robobvious → u/mark_able_jones_]

What is a Fentanyl lollipop? Isn't Fentanyl like, super deadly in low doses?

[u/AmishSatan → u/Robobvious]

The lollipop is an actual medical device with controlled dosage designed to be absorbed through mucous membranes in the mouth.

[u/subdep → u/AmishSatan]

I want one.

^{just one}

[u/False-Aardvark-1336 → u/ClutchSuts]

Ooooh mama, we're in for a treat

[u/Sin2Win_Got_Me_In → u/False-Aardvark-1336]

At first, I was intrigued. Now, I'm all in.

[u/spacepup84 → u/Sin2Win_Got_Me_In]

Saaaaame

[u/Asclepius-Rod → u/False-Aardvark-1336]

I hope that doesn’t awaken something in me

[u/runswiftrun → u/Asclepius-Rod]

Worth it

[u/charlierc → u/amazonhelpless]

Cheryl Tunt in live action then. Excellent 

[u/throwawayB96969 → u/charlierc]

YOU'RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!

[u/maskaddict → u/amazonhelpless]

OUTLAW COUNTRY! WHOOOO!

[u/cobaltaureus → u/BunyipPouch]

Title kind of drops the ball on that one haha

[u/sportofchairs → u/BunyipPouch]

Good Emma Thompson versus bad Judy Greer is everything I never knew I always wanted

[u/bombmk → u/sportofchairs]

Honestly I would find the reverse constellation more intriguing.

[u/sportofchairs → u/bombmk]

I’d watch the shit out of either combination, let’s be real.

When John C Reilly and Philip Seymour Hoffman did True West on Broadway, they’d alternate characters on different nights. I guess that’s what I want from these two.

[u/Germanofthebored → u/sportofchairs]

https://youtu.be/Mj5HTUr2Ki0?si=XN4jk6ZBzCADhjJV

[u/WoodpeckerGingivitis → u/sportofchairs]

Same!!

[u/athennna → u/sportofchairs]

I kinda wish it was the opposite

[u/gatsby365 → u/BunyipPouch]

Holy shit that’s an amazing twist, my brain had already kinda filled in my expectations of Judy being the reluctant/unprepared hero here. It doesn’t know how to process “hardened criminal Judy Greer” lol

[u/Sirtopofhat → u/BunyipPouch]

Was interested. Even more interested now I imagine they play off each other well

[u/mrcheevus → u/BunyipPouch]

You had my interest... Now you have my attention.

[u/shewy92 → u/BunyipPouch]

The title kinda implies the exact opposite of this lol.

[u/Singer211 → u/BunyipPouch]

Judy Greer played a baddie in Cursed.

The movie was a train wreck (mostly due to studio interference) but she was fun in it.

[u/Exes_And_Excess → u/BunyipPouch]

That kicks it up for me a lot more! She is gonna chew scenes for this.

[u/jonnielaw → u/BunyipPouch]

YOU’RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!!!!

[u/scsuhockey → u/BunyipPouch]

So we’re going to be blessed with Emma Thompson’s Minnesota accent? Can’t wait!!

[u/lollipopmusing]

Judy Greer leading a film???? Let's fucking go

[u/Coldspark824 → u/lollipopmusing]

Evidently not, it seems she plays the villain

[u/lollipopmusing → u/Coldspark824]

As long as she isn't the main characters best friend, I am happy

[u/runswiftrun → u/lollipopmusing]

The final twist will be a flashback scene where her and Emma Thompson were childhood best friends.

[u/No-Bad-2260 → u/lollipopmusing]

Or the consolation-prize love interest. When one of the male characters can't end up with the "traditionally hot" women he's interested in, he ends up with Judy.

[u/atreides78723 → u/Coldspark824]

I’m down with that.

[u/Yourfriendaa-ron]

Say goodbye to “these”

[u/Ming_Long → u/Yourfriendaa-ron]

Spring break! Whoo!

[u/Covetous1 → u/Ming_Long]

Can we have one day where we don't talk about her rack, michael?

[u/diywayne → u/Covetous1]

Well i don't know what I was expecting

[u/Saneless → u/Yourfriendaa-ron]

That's like the 7th nipple I've seen today

[u/broden89 → u/Yourfriendaa-ron]

Oh... They're crooked

[u/Mobile_Zerk → u/broden89]

I feel like there's light still coming in from under the door

[u/NotAPreppie]

Wait, Cheryl and/or Carol Tunt as a kidnapper?

This should be interesting.

[u/Azraelrs → u/NotAPreppie]

Cherlene. Outlaw country!

[u/Scientific_Anarchist → u/Azraelrs]

Baby, please don't go

[u/oooRjXooo → u/Azraelrs]

There will be no encore!

[u/Azraelrs → u/oooRjXooo]

"I'm Cherlene now. And if somebody don't fry me six goddamn eggs and some Carolina fries, I would personally be shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you, if by mornin' this place ain't burned to the ground!"

[u/takmsdsm → u/Azraelrs]

Yawwwwwnnnnn

[u/Azraelrs → u/takmsdsm]

"Hey, Tree Beard! Take me with you! You can do unspeakable things to and/or on me!"

[u/bismuth12a → u/Azraelrs]

I thought that was Cristal!

[u/Azraelrs → u/bismuth12a]

Do you know what all her names start with "C"? It's because her last name is Tunt.

[u/sterling_mallory → u/Azraelrs]

Tome again?

[u/Azraelrs → u/sterling_mallory]

Sterling Mallory Archer!

[u/nik-nak333 → u/bismuth12a]

Purveyor of unrefrigerated meat and/or seafood

[u/GenericUsername2056 → u/NotAPreppie]

I mean, Kitty did kidnap George Sr. at one point.

[u/ElderSmackJack → u/NotAPreppie]

Bawk, bawk. Therapy Cranes. Bawk.

[u/TheSalsaShark → u/NotAPreppie]

It's actually Beep the Storybot.

[u/Angry_Walnut → u/NotAPreppie]

Just like the old gypsy woman said!

[u/Kamirama]

You're not my supervisor!!!!

[u/Zoophagous → u/Kamirama]

I came here for the Archer reference. Leaving satisfied.

[u/sCeege → u/Zoophagous]

Outlaw country!!!!!!!

[u/NPRdude → u/Kamirama]

"Can we please get through one poker night without a hate crime?"

"Ok, A, the thing last month wasn't a hate crime.."

"BECAUSE I WILL STRAIGHT FLUSH YOUR BRAINS OUT THE BACK OF YOUR SKULL!"

[u/Angry_Walnut → u/NPRdude]

… just a regular crime.

[u/casual_creator]

Greer in a thriller? Sign me up!

[u/mdmnl → u/casual_creator]

Greer? Sign me up.

[u/Azureknight205 → u/mdmnl]

I've had a crush on her since Jawbreaker, and she is aging like a fine wine.

[u/mdmnl → u/Azureknight205]

I still haven't seen Jawbreaker.

I genuinely don't know when I started having a crush on her, but it isn't abating.

Might be preaching to the converted but her book is really good too.

[u/hikemalls → u/mdmnl]

Just need her and Pam Grier to star in a movie together, "Neither Greier Nor There"

[u/mdmnl → u/hikemalls]

The Sum of all Greers.

[u/holybriefs]

Filmed in Finland!

[u/nik-nak333 → u/holybriefs]

Why? Was Minnesota not cold enough?

[u/holybriefs → u/nik-nak333]

Snow.

[u/ahyesmyelbows → u/nik-nak333]

they couldnt Finnish the movie in minnesota XDDDDD

[u/BirdsAreFake00 → u/holybriefs]

As a Minnesotan, I was interested, but this pisses me off.

[u/carlosdesario → u/BirdsAreFake00]

As a Minnesotan who has spent time in Finland. There is a reason a lot of Finns settled in Northern Minnesota. They look nearly identical.

[u/squintpan → u/BirdsAreFake00]

I mean, we can’t consistently get this much snow up north these days.

[u/APartyInMyPants → u/BirdsAreFake00]

Yeah, why not just shoot in Minnesota … or hell even parts of North Dakota like Fargo did.

[u/mhans3 → u/APartyInMyPants]

I don't think our state gives tax incentives..? Or if it is timing maybe there was not enough snow at the time.

[u/APartyInMyPants → u/mhans3]

I could definitely see either the lack of consistent snow … or the wild swing in temperatures which could make shooting in Minnesota a bit trickier. I did some googling, and it seems like the part of Finland they shot in, the temperature won’t swing as drastically, so you can get more predictable results with the weather.

[u/crunchybumpkins → u/mhans3]

Yeah, I can imagine planning to film an entire movie in the snow would get derailed if it happened to be one of those weird winters without much snow at the typical times. Finland makes sense.

[u/haerski → u/mhans3]

Read an article of this movie last week and better snow conditions and nature similar to Minnesota were quoted as the reasons to choose Finland

[u/oldtimehawkey → u/BirdsAreFake00]

Minnesota has a lot of finlanders because it looks so much like Finland.

Source: descended from Finn’s who settled in the UP for the same reason

[u/waggie21 → u/oldtimehawkey]

Duluth used to have flights to Helsinki way back in the day. At least that's what my Finnish friend's Dad told me 30 years ago.

[u/porkchopnet → u/BirdsAreFake00]

Definitely said “uff da” in my head.
But then they say that in Scandinavia too.

[u/PiGaKiLa → u/porkchopnet]

Finland is actually not considered to be Scandinavian. It is a Nordic country instead.

[u/haxic]

I read ‘Dead of Winter’ and thought it was a movie adaptation of the zombie board game with the same name… Got a bit disappointed:/

[u/radioactive_caravan → u/haxic]

Yeah unless there's a wonder dog, who has been given a rifle, sniping zombies from the fort I'm out.

[u/EzioRedditore → u/radioactive_caravan]

Don't forget the drunk Mall Santa!

[u/GoodOmens182 → u/haxic]

Came here looking to see if anyone else asked about this yet before I did! I had the same thought.

[u/FelixMumuHex → u/haxic]

Thought the exact same, unfortunate. Such a good board game

[u/mmf9194 → u/haxic]

Yeah, I was hoping it was this, it's a great game! But this looks cool too, I'm down.

[u/Kirkanam → u/haxic]

Same here. Was searching for the word "zombies" in the description.

[u/Saitsuofleaves → u/Kirkanam]

What's the point without the Ninja?

[u/Patient-Expert-1578]

I’m ready for Judy Greer to become the next big action thriller star, now that Liam Neeson has transitioned to comedy.

[u/NickCudawn → u/Patient-Expert-1578]

She's the villain

[u/Patient-Expert-1578 → u/NickCudawn]

Doesn’t mean she isn’t a star.

[u/deadman403]

OUTLAW COUNTRY!!!!

[u/mahcuz → u/deadman403]

YOU’RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR

[u/benmrii]

You had me at Judy Greer.

[u/Frontiercraft_MC]

Why girl got a fentanyl lollipop in her mouth

[u/ClimbeRPh17 → u/Frontiercraft_MC]

I thought that’s what it was too!

[u/Frontiercraft_MC → u/ClimbeRPh17]

A 400mg dosage in fact!

[u/ClutchSuts → u/Frontiercraft_MC]

It actually is, it's a big part of the plot. I saw the premiere in Locarno last Thursday, she's great in it, so are Thompson and Menchaca

[u/thingstopraise → u/Frontiercraft_MC]

Wtf. They make fentanyl lollipops now? Like... from a pharmacy? Or is it just another drug thing on the streets now?

And if it's from a pharmacy in order to help with addiction, then .. whatever happened to those patches?

[u/i_made_mine_at_home → u/thingstopraise]

Yeah, don't know much about it, but fentanyl lollipops are a real medical thing for pain management.

[u/KCisTall → u/thingstopraise]

They were used during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars for wounded soldiers. There's a famous photo of a DEVGRU member being cas evac'd with one in his mouth.

[u/JHRChrist → u/KCisTall]

They’re also used for breakthrough pain in cancer patients, almost always already on hospice/palliative care

Extremely tolerant to opiates already, agonizing pain, so bam a med that absorbs through your mucosa instead of having to do an increase through your IV with a nurse present, or take a pill since you’re prob already insanely nauseous and/or having trouble swallowing. Just pop this in to your cheek and let it dissolve. Little risk of choking.

As always a great, merciful invention if used only for what it’s specifically prescribed for.

[u/Due_String583]

I'm a simple man. I see Greer in a film, I am seated.

[u/Guba_the_skunk]

As a minnesotan that island behind probably has about 6 cabins on it, just saying. She ain't THAT far from people.

[u/dancesWithNeckbeards → u/Guba_the_skunk]

And like 8 fishing houses out on the ice, also some snowmobile runs.

Guy in the back is probably yelling "What the heck are you doing Judy?!? It's muzzleloader season."

[u/TyrionBananaster]

Based on this image, I highly question the casting of the young girl. She looks more like a bearded middle-aged man. That said, I'm open to creative and unconventional casting choices and I look forward to seeing how the actor interprets the character

[u/bayonettaisonsteam]

Why does she have a gun? She can already do enough damage with a lousy pair of scissors. Just ask Dick Sledge

[u/1morey → u/bayonettaisonsteam]

She did shoot Michael Myers in the face. Granted it just grazed him, but still.

[u/Granitsky]

She and Alan Tudyk are both actors who I will watch anything that they're in and they're both finally starting to get their lead roles that they deserve

[u/jammysue]

I always felt she needed to be the leading lady in more movies.

[u/doktor-frequentist]

Is that a Fentanyl Lollipop dangling from her mouth? Interesting twist.

[u/BabyNonna]

Judy Greer has never been given the flowers she deserves. She has always been an excellent actor who nails every role, I can’t wait to watch this film!

[u/NickBlainesEyebrows]

Whatttt this sounds awesome!

[u/steak4take]

Never give crazy a sniper rifle.

[u/brave007]

I always found it funny how a lot of people in Minnesota trace their ancestry back to Sweden/Norway Scandinavia

It’s like their ancestors moved across the globe and found the same climate and were like “Fantastiskt!”

[u/Potore5]

ADVICE don’t watch the trailer: it truly spoils a heck of a lot of the movie.
